A fight that started with just a few females grew into a brawl between about 60 people on Buck Street ... prior to the shooting. Police broke it up. Small crowds of people were left and began to disperse. An hour later, a white van pulled onto the street, the people in the van couldn’t be identified, but there were guns. As the van drove through, an unknown gunmen opened fire on Buck Street at 9:33 p.m.
